Ducati finds it “strange” that Aprilia, KTM are getting MotoGP concessions in 2024

MotoGP announced on the Monday following the Valencia Grand Prix finale that it had finalised the framework for the new concessions system being brought in for 2024.

Its primary aim is to help the struggling Japanese manufacturers get back up towards the front of the field by giving them extra benefits, such as more tyres to test with, unlimited in-season testing and free engine development.

Ducati will be hit hardest by restrictions, with the world champions limited on tyres, testing and banned from fielding any wildcards.

However, under the new ranking system for the concessions, KTM and Aprilia have found itself gaining more tyres to test with and wildcards.

Aprilia won two grands prix in 2023, while KTM had two sprint wins and six podiums. Honda also won a grand prix, but finished 515 points adrift of Ducati in last in the constructors’ table.
